Summary
Guy Gannaway is a seasoned software and QA leader with over a decade of hands-on experience shipping multi-platform games and building scalable testing programs. He has led QA for major titles across PC and consoles, managed certification and launch submissions, and architected internal QA processes that supported successful Early Access and full launches. Comfortable as both a solo contributor at startups and a manager of distributed vendor teams, he blends operational rigor—contracts, metrics, and JIRA triage—with player-facing live-ops support during launch weekends. His background spans game design, cyber security curiosity, and digital art, giving him a cross-disciplinary perspective on quality and user experience. Based in Pleasant Hill, CA, he’s known for mentoring QA talent into leadership roles and for optimizing cost-effective test coverage across multiple platforms. Not obvious at first glance: he’s shipped console performance optimizations that enabled ports to run on constrained hardware like Nintendo Switch generations.
